Is It Hot in Here

(Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth)?

De: Zach Zimmerman

Narrado por: Zach Zimmerman

In this laugh-and-cry-out-loud, memoir-esque exploration of selfhood, Zach Zimmerman dives into the pros and cons of retiring a Bible-Belt-dwelling, meat-eating, God-fearing identity in exchange for a new lease on life—one of vegetarianism, atheism, queerness, and humor. Whether learning to absolve instilled religious guilt or reminiscing over Tinder dates gone wrong, this book is a candid and hysterical look at one person's journey toward making peace with the past and seeking hope in the future.

HILARIOUS WRITING: Featuring pieces that were originally published in the New Yorker, Is It Hot in Here (Or Am I Suffering for All Eternity for the Sins I Committed on Earth)? is a literary gem.

RELEVANT AND INCLUSIVE: Zimmerman navigates obstacles in the queer community with essays that are not only humorous and heartfelt, but also act as guiding anecdotes.

ESTABLISHED AUTHOR AND COMEDIAN: Zimmerman has written dozens of New Yorker humor pieces and essays, a Billboard Top Ten comedy album that debuted at #1, and has been featured in New York Magazine, the New York Times, TimeOut, Vulture, and more.

my new favorite

Much in the same vein as David Sedaris, Zach's essays run the gamut between lists and heartache...but mostly stopping at the intersection of belly laugh and guffaw. I loved listening to the narration and honestly will be purchasing a hard copy of this to read again.

Great listen!

I enjoyed Zach’s standup album, and thought I’d try the audiobook. I wasn’t disappointed! This is a great collection of stories and essays, both funny and touching!

Charming & funny

An excellent collection of short stories, comedy pieces, and memoir. The writing is often poignant and vulnerable without veering into maudlin.

The narration is great - wry and quiet. Makes you lean in a bit. Highly recommend this quick & funny listen!

Wonderfully fun!

A genuinely enjoyable exploration of his life and imagination. I’m always happy to ride around in the perspective of somebody who cares so deeply.

Amazing

Loved all of it. Laugh out loud and deeply heartfelt in one. Read this and feel like a human
